Mission Statement
Northern Clay Center advances the ceramic arts for artists, learners, and the community, through education, exhibitions, and artist services.
About This Cause
The Clay Center addresses the needs of its three major constituents in the following ways: 1. Ceramic artists – through exhibition, sales, and employment opportunities, affordable studio space, access to special equipment, continued training, and grants. 2. Schools and colleges – through regular clay classes, special guest artist workshops, training for teachers, field trips, and artist residencies in area schools and community organizations. 3. General public – through exhibitions of work by regional, national, and international artists, publications, classes, Internet facility, and other special outreach programs geared towards site-specific populations, including seniors. In the last 20+ years, Northern Clay Center has become an established part of the local arts community, one that serves a particular marketplace, and one that has garnered national recognition for the quality and scope of its programs. Through special projects such as the Regis Masters Series, various lectures and symposia, and publications, we reach a national and international audience, as well as an audience of participants within the Twin Cities. Other programs, such as the American Pottery Festival and McKnight Residency grants, bring national artists to the region, which continues to feed the lively exchange of ideas and aesthetics. The Clay Center is the only comprehensive ceramic arts organization in the region and is now one of the largest, if not the largest, such organization in the country; it has become a model for other medium-based education and artist service organizations.
